Other articles on the front page:
Ars Technica is owned by Condé Nast, which used to own Reddit.
I used to read Ars Tecnica and then saw every article was left wing talking points and nothing about tech
Around 2015, virtually every media outlet, no matter how unrelated, politicized and exposed themselves as left-wing activists.
That would explain gaming magazines as well.
Perhaps the most hilarious has to be Teen Vogue.
Tell me about it. I remember in the 90s and early 2000s I’d read them a lot because they had great articles written by people who seemed to love gaming. Now it’s written by people who hate the hobby
Yea that seems to be the modus operandi for all these IPs. Hire people who hate the product
Are you referring to critical role? After doing some brief research on the actors can't say I'm a fan.
At least gamergate opened some eyes
Just look at Ars Technica's home page from 1999 or even 2008.
Back in 2014 it had already gone downhill considerably but mostly in the sense of trying to appeal to advertisers and the mass market and not political bullshit. By 2015 you had vaccine mandate stuff on the front page, and of course when Trump ran for president TDS kicked in with full force.
Same for me with Slashdot...they've always been tilted to the left but I stopped going there when it got too rabid and people couldn't post anonymously anymore (maybe that was a glitch, but I hold a very high bar for the admins of a tech news site).
A misleading title. Yes, because conservative media are the only ones not spreading blood libel against a Nobel prize winner and his lifesaving medication.
Also a misleading title. All the Western COVID vaccines use the same protein to induce the same immune response. Of course it's "as good" if it's the same stuff.
This one's fine. Your beef here is against the FDA rather than ArsTechnica.
Unless Ted Cruz's statement is a fabrication, they are right to call him out on this. I've got a more charitable view of Proof of Research since the makework that "secures" the currency is only useless to the miner and not to civilisation as a whole, but neither does anything good for the electric grid.
The main issue I'm bringing up here isn't that the titles are misleading (though that's obviously a problem with the first two), it's that even so-called technology news is little more than political propaganda at this point and often has little to nothing to do with technology.
Ted Cruz's idea is to use Bitcoin mining to help pay for excess capacity when that capacity is not needed elsewhere so that when that capacity is needed the mining operations can be shut down.
I don't think Ars Technica is wrong about Cruz's plan not being practical, and this is actually technology news, but it's hard to be charitable when it's one of 4+ articles on their front page attacking conservatives.
Qanon isn't even a group. Saying "leaked to Qanon" is the equivalent of saying "leaked to the public".
The Hackers on Estradiol are at it again.

These read like they're from the National Enquirer.
fake news
ARStechnica has been garbage for years now. Has been ever since they made Peter B a mod.
